Abstract

Abstract: Lymphadenopathy (LAD), characterized by abnormal enlargement of lymph nodes, is frequently encountered in clinical practice. Despite its prevalence, the condition's evaluation and management pose significant challenges due to its diverse etiologies, which range from benign conditions to serious malignancies. This article provides a comprehensive overview of LAD, including its etiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and diagnostic evaluation to aid providers, particularly physician associates (PAs), in care of these patients. Through detailed discussions and practical guidance, the article equips PAs with the necessary tools to effectively navigate the complexities of LAD.
